This article began life as a talk I gave in late 2024. I love formal methods—I should say that to begin with, because this article is mostly about what doesn’t work when trying to do FM projects. Over the last 20 years, formal methods have grown and grown, and I’m proud to say that Galois has made its own contributions to this success. I made a lot of mistakes when I was scoping and running formal methods projects. I’d like other people to avoid the pitfalls I fell into, and hopefully make bigg

I’m excited to publish this guest post by Nick McGreivy, a physicist who last year earned a PhD from Princeton. Nick used to be optimistic that AI could accelerate physics research. But when he tried to apply AI techniques to real physics problems the results were disappointing. I’ve written before about the Princeton School of AI Safety, which holds that the impact of AI is likely to be similar to that of past general-purpose technologies such as electricity, integrated circuits, and the Inter

Persuasion is an essential skill for Engineering Managers. We persuade executives to approve new projects. We persuade our leadership to give us more resources. We persuade reports to tackle tasks that may not excite them. We persuade peer managers to lend us their help in cross-team projects. We persuade our cross-functional partners to move deadlines when they might overwhelm our team. We persuade during calibration and promotion sessions. We persuade potential hires to join our team.

Has somebody already done this? Since this is one of those super simple things that anyone can do—they just need to be the first to find it,—I was worried I had spent a whole bunch of time repeating something someone else had done already. I was also aware of other projects that use repeated actions to expose generational loss that I mentioned earlier, but nothing that focused specifically on rotation as the impetus, and nothing that ended up with Turing patterns. After some cybersearching, I c

Summary Introduce scoped values, which enable a method to share immutable data both with its callees within a thread, and with child threads. Scoped values are easier to reason about than thread-local variables. They also have lower space and time costs, especially when used together with virtual threads (JEP 444) and structured concurrency (JEP 505). History The scoped values API was proposed for incubation by JEP 429 (JDK 20), proposed for preview by JEP 446 (JDK 21), and subsequently impro

Tail Call Recursion in Java with ASM One kind of optimization offered by some compilers is tail call optimization. This optimization does not bring much, since the programmer can always tailor his code without recursion, especially in an imperative language. On the other side, recursive code often times more elegant, so why we don’t let the compiler do the nasty stuff when it is possible? In this article I will present a neat way to implement tail call optimization in Java using byte code manip

In many robotics and VR/AR applications, fast camera motions cause a high level of motion blur, causing existing camera pose estimation methods to fail. In this work, we propose a novel framework that leverages motion blur as a rich cue for motion estimation rather than treating it as an unwanted artifact. Our approach works by predicting a dense motion flow field and a monocular depth map directly from a single motion-blurred image. We then recover the instantaneous camera velocity by solving a

Every day, researchers search for optimal solutions. They might want to figure out where to build a major airline hub. Or to determine how to maximize return while minimizing risk in an investment portfolio. Or to develop self-driving cars that can distinguish between traffic lights and stop signs. Mathematically, these problems get translated into a search for the minimum values of functions. But in all these scenarios, the functions are too complicated to assess directly. Researchers have to
